My games try not to hassle with extreme specifics (in character gen). If player 1 picks up a sword like object and wants a perk to use it with another sword like skill, im not going to hose him when he picks up a different sword like object and tries to use that same sword like skill. As long as it isn't a gigantic leap in rules sets like Broadsword to Rapier anyway.

In most cases its only buying off a -2 to skill, and that's worth a perk.

As far as weapon breakage, the way I see it, it'll only come up in one of a hand full of situations. When a face palming reality check occurs, when it'd be an appropriate cinematic, when a weapon is specifically struck, or if you're running or playing in a gritty game. In all of those situations, doing it the long way is fairest to the player (and just mandatory for gritty).
